2006 Malaguti Madison 3 250 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Malaguti's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2006 Malaguti Madison 3 250 features a 244 cc (14.9 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 22.1 HP (16.1 kW) at 8,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through belt final drive. With a specific output of 90.6 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the Madison 3 250 measures 158 kg (348 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.14 HP/kg (7.15 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 795 mm (31.3 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,360 mm (53.5 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 8.5-liter (2.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
